I enjoy reading these back-and-forth dialogues and really appreciate being
included on the mailing list! The discussion is always lively and
enlightening (even if purely academic) and on almost all occasions these
exchanges tend to be pertinent to either something I’m working on, something
I’ve got on the back-burner, or something likely to present itself in the future
(which is why I save these discussions in my “Legal Research” folder for future
reference). </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">J</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I don’t think that you are
crazy, but I think that the trial court was correct. In <U>Hayutin</U> the
amended claim of lien was recorded more than 90 days after the date of last work
recited in the amended claim of lien.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">You still may be able to argue
that you are prejudiced by the amendment, if you can prove any prejudice.
The lienor must still prove that it worked up to the date alleged in the amended
claim of lien, which work was not warranty work.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

all,</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">I got a
bad ruling this afternoon and I was wondering if any of you know of some awesome
caselaw that is on point off the top of your head…here’s the
facts:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Plaintiff
filed Claim of Lien on May 28, 2009, alleging the last work was done on March 4,
2009.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Plaintiff
filed an Amended Claim of Lien on April 7, 2010, alleging the last work was done
on March 2, 2010, but specifically stating that it was being filed to amend the
claim of lien from ’09.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Plaintiff
filed suit to foreclose the Amended Claim of Lien on March 30,
2011.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">We filed
a Motion to Dismiss for the Defendant, stating that the Amended Claim of Lien
was way too late, pursuant to §713.08(4)(b) and the case of <U>Hayutin v.
Cochran Const. Co., Inc</U>. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The
Judge denied the Motion to Dismiss stating that since the Plaintiff was amending
the last date of work performed, and since the amended claim of lien was filed
within 90 days of that new date, then it was timely.
<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">This
seems to completely gut the statute and goes against the whole “strictly
construed creature of statute” claim of lien law that I had learned. Am I
crazy and the Judge is right or is she off base and I should be filing a Motion
for Rehearing as soon as I can?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
